Modern Description: A paved road leading N from the E edge of modern Elateia leads in ca. 2.5 km to a Mycenaean cemetery of chamber tombs, signposted, no entry control, on right of the road. The cemetery was in use between the 14th century BC and Protogeometric period; acme after 1200 BC. The archaeological evidence provided by the excavation of the cemetery attests the expansion of Mycenaean civilization in the periphery and its survival after the decline of the great Mycenaean centers. Finds in the Elateia Archaeological Collection.
